| Abstract: | Despite major adverse health and economic effects, there is no national screening approach for the early detection and treatment of cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and type 2 diabetes for the general population in the Netherlands. The Check@Home consortium wants to explore the feasibility, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of a home-based screening program to prevent progression and complications. This master thesis focussed on the cost-effectiveness of the Check@Home screening program compared to usual care. To evaluate the cost-effectiveness, we developed a discrete-event simulation model. The model was used to provide an initial understanding into the potential cost-effectiveness of screening. The aim was to inform the Check@Home consortium about the screening setup in future participating regions. Furthermore, it helps policy-makers to make evidence-informed decisions about the potential cost-effectiveness of home-based screening in the future. |
